Chapter 245 Return to Beijing



What was written in the book made Fang Qingyue's heart move.

This treatment was even rarer and less common, especially in her time, and almost no one dared to try it easily.

However, the book does contain detailed records, describing the efficacy and operating procedures of using certain specific insects as medicine, and lists several cases of successful cure of stubborn diseases.

She pursed her lips, a look of contemplation between her brows.

Many of the treatments recorded in ancient medical books are not applicable to today's medical environment, but these rare ancient methods do have their unique features.

Especially when conventional medical skills are helpless, it may be the patient's last straw.

"Bloodletting, insect medicine... Although these treatments seem extreme, in extreme cases, they may really be life-saving methods." Fang Qingyue whispered to herself.

The more she read, the more she felt that these therapies had their unique value, especially when contemporary medical technology was helpless, these methods might be a ray of hope.

She closed the book and looked out the window.

On the other side, Shen Yuhan had been riding on horseback for several days. The strong wind blew on his face, bringing a hint of dry chill.

The cool autumn breeze blows across the wilderness of the frontier, accompanied by the yellow sand of the desert.

The mountains in the distance were looming, and only his figure and the sound of horse hooves remained in the sky.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, with only one thought in his mind.

Returning to Beijing, I met Fang Qingyue.

Counting the days, Fang Qingyue is due to give birth in these few days.

Thinking of her being alone in the capital, Shen Yuhan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although Fang Chiyue was accompanying her in the capital, there were also maids taking care of her in the mansion.

But when he thought that Fang Qingyue was pregnant with his child, Shen Yuhan's heart tightened a little.

Since he learned of the great victory, he immediately handed over military affairs to his deputy general He Xiao.

He traveled light, left the soldiers accompanying him behind, and rode at full speed to the capital alone.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sound of horse hooves remained rapid.

Shen Yuhan looked up at the gradually darkening sky, calmed down, and worried in his heart: "Qingyue, I wonder how you are now."

These days, his heart has always been on Fang Qingyue and the unborn child.

Although he was accustomed to the swords and spears on the battlefield, the warmth in his heart never cooled down when faced with the concern of his family.

As night fell, the surrounding wilderness became increasingly desolate and silent.

Shen Yuhan took out a small brocade bag from the saddle and opened it gently. Inside was a piece of chalcedony with a warm and lustrous luster.

This piece of chalcedony was a fine material he had accidentally found in the Gobi Desert on the frontier. It was as white as snow and exuded a cool aura.

He specially invited the most famous local jade craftsman to carve it into an exquisite jade pendant.

It is as smooth as jade and crystal clear, just right for Fang Qingyue.

Ever since he got this chalcedony, he has been thinking of giving it as a gift.

Give it to Fang Qingyue as a token of my appreciation.

He gently stroked the chalcedony, a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Qingyue, I will be able to return to you soon."

He murmured to himself, and Fang Qingyue's gentle face and the way she carefully stroked her bulging belly appeared in his mind.

Shen Yuhan's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of horse hooves, and he took a deep breath.

He quickly put the chalcedony away and focused his attention back on his journey.

Every minute and every second now is precious.

If only he could go faster, cover a few more miles, he could see her sooner.

Two days and two nights later, the city wall of the capital finally came into view.

The flag of the Great Zhou was hung on the tall city wall, fluttering in the wind.

The autumn wind blew the yellow leaves into the city, and the whole city was filled with the atmosphere of victory.

The city gate was already filled with people who came to welcome Shen Yuhan. They had already heard the news of the great victory on the border, and they stood on both sides of the road, their faces full of excitement.

"General Shen is back! It's General Shen!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd recognized Shen Yuhan and immediately started shouting.

The sound seemed to stir up a huge wave, and the people crowded forward.

Their faces were filled with gratitude as they congratulated Shen Yuhan.

"General, you've worked so hard! Thanks to you guarding the border, we can live in peace!"

"General Shen is truly a god descended from heaven! A great victory on the border, the enemy is in ruins!"

The people's words were full of praise, and some even threw the bouquets in their hands to Shen Yuhan.

The streets were lined with cheers and the scene was extremely lively.

Shen Yuhan was riding on the horse. Although his expression was calm, his inner anxiety was difficult to conceal.

He looked around the crowd but still couldn't see that familiar figure.

"Qingyue...she didn't come."

Shen Yuhan's heart sank slightly. He knew Fang Qingyue was about to give birth.

Perhaps due to physical inconvenience, he did not show up at the city gate to greet them, but this did not reduce his anxiety at all.

Ever since he learned that she was pregnant, Shen Yuhan has been concerned about her safety.

Especially at this moment, he wanted to see her more urgently and make sure she was okay.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't block the way!"

A hurried command came from Shen Yuhan's mouth.

He quickly waved his hand, signaling the guards at the city gate to evacuate the onlookers.

The guards immediately followed the order and persuaded the surrounding people to retreat so as not to affect Shen Yuhan's progress.

Although the people were reluctant to leave, they did not dare to neglect Shen Yuhan seeing his serious expression.

They all retreated to the side of the road to make a wide path for him.

Shen Yuhan tightened the reins and without further delay, urged the horse forward and galloped towards the direction of the Shen Mansion.
